We can't be oblivious

We are not ignorant



Blood in our hearts

Blood on our hands



We're human

We reason

We're breathing

Protecting

You're living and dying, surviving, we're trying

To breathe in safety

Come home safely



Mercy screams its violent love

Justice..

And mercy

Justice..

And mercy

The death of us created for

Justice..

And mercy

Justice..

And mercy

This is where they kiss



Life, here sacrificed

Someone who payed the price

Blood in our hearts

Blood on our hands

We cry out, we're fighting, it's warfare, we're dying

Believing we're winning, it's ending, we're singing

It's already done

We've overcome



Mercy screams its violent love

Justice..

And mercy

Justice..

And mercy

The death of us created for

Justice..

And mercy

Justice..

And mercy

This is where they kiss



With a life on the line (the fire..)

That consumes or refines (the fire..)

To ascend or decline

To retreat or to climb

Out of sight, out of mind

'til attacked from behind

Will this fire..

Consume or refine?



Mercy screams its violent love

Justice..

And mercy

Justice..

And mercy

The death of us created for

Justice..

And mercy

Justice..

And mercy

This is where they kiss
